Genomic epidemiology reveals multiple mechanisms of linezolid resistance in clinical enterococci in China

Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials
Background Infections caused by linezolid-resistant enterococci (LRE) are clinically difficult to treat and threaten patient health. However, there is a lack of studies on long time-span LRE strains in China.

The importance of adjusting for enterococcus species when assessing the burden of vancomycin resistance: a cohort study including over 1000 cases of enterococcal bloodstream infections

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2018
Background Infections caused by vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are on the rise worldwide. Few studies have tried to estimate the mortality burden as well as the financial burden of those infections and found that VRE are associated with increased

Analysis of pathogenic bacteria using exogenous volatile organic compound metabolites and optical sensor detection [PDF]

, 2015
A novel, low-cost and simple method for the detection of pathogenic bacteria is proposed. The approach is based on the generation of an exogenous volatile organic compound (VOC) produced by the addition of an enzyme substrate to the bacterial sample. The

Enterococcus faecium

, 2003
Hintergrund Unter den Enterokokken weist der Enterococcus (E.) faecium am häufigsten eine erworbene Vancomycinresistenz auf. Vancomycin resistente Enterokokken (VRE) werden zunehmend als Erreger nosokomialer Infektionen nachgewiesen. Fragestellung Wie häufig tritt der genotypische Nachweis von Vancomycin-resistenten E.

Characterization of vancomycin resistance in Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1989
Vancomycin resistance in Enterococcus faecium 180, a clinical isolate from England, was studied. Resistance to vancomycin was transferable by conjugation to other enterococci. Expression of resistance was inducible and coincided with the appearance of a new membrane protein.

Characterisation of bacteria‐induced colitis and its modulation by probiotics in naked mole rats: a new mammalian model for acute inflammatory disease

The Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.
Abstract Enteropathogenic bacteria are a major cause of morbidity and mortality globally. While mouse models have been indispensable in advancing our understanding of infectious enteric diseases, key differences in intestinal microbiota and immunobiology between mice and humans underscore the need for alternative mammalian models that better ...

From Membrane Composition to Antimicrobial Strategies: Experimental and Computational Approaches to AMP Design and Selectivity

Small, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising candidates for next‐generation antibiotics, acting through mechanisms such as membrane disruption and intracellular targeting. This review examines how variations in bacterial membrane composition critically influence AMP activity.

Antimicrobial resistance pattern of enterococcus species among clinical isolates in Iran: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Journal of Infection and Public Health
Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) and Enterococcus faecium (E. faecium) are leading pathogens responsible for both community-acquired and nosocomial infections, with escalating antibiotic resistance reported worldwide.

The anti-parasitic effect of probiotic bacteria via limiting the fecundity of Trichinella spiralis female adults

Helminthologia, 2018
A potential protective effect of probiotic strains against zoonotic Trichinella spiralis infection was investigated in the framework of a new therapeutic strategy aimed at using probiotics to control parasitic zoonoses.

Occurrence of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains isolated in poultry

Veterinární Medicína, 2002
The main goal of the study was to analyse the occurrence of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains in poultry in the Czech Republic in 1999-2000. The resistance was determined in 128 selected Escherichia coli, 88 Staphylococcus sp.
